686. The county corporation may also make, amend or repeal by-laws to grant and fix the salary of the warden, councillors and delegates of the county and the members of the executive committee.

The notice of motion or the notice contemplated in the fourth paragraph of article 445 relating to a by-law under this article must be accompanied with a draft of the by-law. The notice must be given in due time to allow the third paragraph to be observed.

Public notice of at least 21 days shall be given by the secretary-treasurer of the place, date and time of the session at which the draft by-law is to be passed, with a summary of its content. The notice must state the remuneration provided for in the draft by-law. In addition to being posted up, the notice must be published in a newspaper circulated in the county municipality, with the same time limit.

Any contravention of the second or third paragraph renders the by-law null.

The council shall determine by resolution the terms of payment of such sums, one-third of which shall be paid as an indemnity for a portion of the expenses attaching to the offices of county warden, councillor or delegate or member of the executive committee.

The expenses actually incurred by the members of the council on behalf of the municipality must, in each case, be previously authorized by the council. The latter must approve payment thereof upon presentation of a statement accompanied with the related vouchers.

The council may, by by-law, establish a tariff applicable in cases where expenses are incurred for an activity or class of activities carried out in Québec and not for the object of travel outside Québec. The payment of the amount prescribed in the tariff for an expense incurred by a member of the council on behalf of the corporation is approved by the council upon presentation of a statement accompanied with any voucher required by by-law.

The council may appropriate, out of the moneys not otherwise appropriated from the general fund of the corporation, sufficient sums to ensure the repayment of a category of expenses which may be incurred by the members of the council on behalf of the corporation during the fiscal period, whether these expenses are actually incurred or prescribed in the tariff. The council is not required to previously authorize any expense included in such a category and incurred after the appropriation, if it does not exceed the balance of the sums appropriated, after subtracting those already used or committed for the repayment of previous expenses.
